Withdrawn. Can ship. Sandberg Electra VS4 (Precision style) bass £450 Darlington

[karlfer]

A friend wanted my Warwick Dolphin & put this as part trade. He knows I need to sell it on, HOWEVER, IF my Squire Classic Vibe 50's goes first, this will be kept.

Fully converted to passive, quote from my friend's original PM.

"Sandberg Electra VS4 (P bass) that I have removed all the original fit electronics and installed a Martin Herrick slightly overwound (by about 5%) '58 P bass pickup to the spec used by Steve Harris, this is coupled with the V/T/T passive circuit that Adam Clayton uses in his sig Warwick Streamer CV.  This was made by KiOgon for me."

V/T/T passive example

 

Apologies for photos, raining yet again.

Zero fret & Plek'd, weight 8lb 10oz, nut is 40mm, lovely bass, comes with a basic gigbag. The last photo shows one slight dimple. Somewhere.

Will meet up within 100 miles of Darlington

Sorry, no trades or offers thanks, the basic version of this sells at £631 although they seem a little scarce at the moment.

If you want it on hold I will require a non-refundable £50 deposit (too many vanish/change their mind!!!)

Keep safe, Karl

What can I say, I'm a gear slut and really wanted your Dolphin (bass, just be clear ).  I rather liked this and it was a bit of a wrench to let it go

Where would Basschat be without gear sluts like us eh? 😁

If i didn't have a holiday to pay for this week i would have been having one of those 2 basses you have up for sale. Both at fantastic prices and always great condition gear.

Passive Sandy is so nice.

Get it bought Dave, Wee Jimmy'll just cancel your holiday anyway 😭.

Or not 😁

The Sandberg was "sold" yesterday afternoon until I made sure the chap was aware it was fully passive now.

Pity the half witted pox doctor's clerk didn't read the bloody advert!

[dmccombe7]

2 very nice basses for the money.

The passive VS4 is one i quite fancy trying altho i do tend to use my VM4 in active mode.

PM's replied.

Yes Dave, this one is particularly great to play, lovely neck.

You won't get many basses of such high standard that they are Plek'd, for used Mexico prices.

[karlfer]

I can now send this HOWEVER buyer to organise & pay for courier so they can choose insurance level.

THIS IS A BARGAIN!!!! for a bass of this quality.

Agreed. These Electras put many more expensive basses to shame.

Cheers Mark.

Unfortunately all those interested seem to want it delivering for £200, by Jeanine Mason ( I had to Google) in her under crackers. Or variations thereof.

Same with the Classic Vibe 50's Precision. I'm withdrawing both from here tonight, leaving this one on FeeBay at £550 delivered as there are 11 watchers.

I'm just fed up of dealing with daft requests.
